Hi, new China bike rider here

Got my new Bashan BSR 250 registered yesterday. You would know the weather would immediately turned off bad. Rain should stop and warm a little by the week end. I'm trying to break her in slowly. So far only two short runs. I'm 65 and retired. I learned to ride dirt bikes in my 20's while stationed overseas in the desert. I had a Suzuki 250cc two stroke. A crazy guy from Texas took me under his wing and taught me most everything about riding in sand. It was pure joy. I rode everyday. Since then I have owned several motorcycles. Some were just transportation, and some I really liked. Sold my last motorcycle 5 or 6 years ago. Decided I wanted to start riding again and was looking at used Japanese ones on Craigs List. Wow, the prices were way out of my range. Then I learned about the Chinese imports and was convinced I should get one. This is the first new motorcycle I have ever owned. Their simplicity is a thing of beauty. I must say this bike is really bringing back the joy. Can't wait to go exploring. I would also like to add, I really enjoy this forum. I found lots of info that helped me make my decision.
